Children’s Ministry and DiscipleshipWelcome to the Virginia Conference Office of Children’s Ministries and Discipleship! This office resources the local church in all areas of ministry to children, including Christian Education (such as Sunday School and Children’s Worship), programs that help nurture children’s faith development, and child protection. We publish FaithSteps, a quarterly newsletter for those who work with children, and will soon be coordinating a Children’s E-News Update. The Children’s Initiative engages the local church in outreach ministries with children and the poor. We provide resources in education and advocacy, coordinate a grants program to help seed new ministries at the local church, and coordinate the All God’s Children Camp for children of incarcerated mothers. This office also works with the Board of Discipleship and its divisions of Education, Spiritual Formation and Worship. We provide resources and training for the local church in these vital areas of ministry. Please see the links to these ministries for more detailed information.
